I'm rewatching the second doctor's era and I CAN'T help thinking that the dynamic between him and Polly is one you can find between two teenage girls

not now Cyberman, they're too busy yapping ab their cute outfits and their cute boyfriends to pay attention to you

zoes on map duty bens got the bags and the doctor is off in the b plot experiencing halloween horrors beyond comprehension dressed as a wizard

[natequarter]

the second doctor's relationship with ben and polly is really funny because in his early days they're like wtf? who is this violent and unreliable cryptic who has replaced our Beloved Old Man??? because they've never met the first doctor in his early days and have no idea that he, too, was a violent, unhinged, unhelpful old man

I got so overwhelmed with Good Outfits I had to stop watching to doodle my favourites. Second Doctor era is first because it's the fashion I think about most

Victoria's green getup specifically is from chapter 3 of a light in bitter dark ; the entire thing made me weepy but there's something about a tiny girl in finery Getting Shit Done that makes my heart Soar amongst all the aching.

One of Jamie's distant relations became a spy during World War II and used the name "the Doctor." (Audio: Operation Werewolf)

Ben, Polly, and Jamie played with a ouija board on the TARDIS. This caused a dark cloud from the time vortex to slip inside Jamie's mind, affecting his behavior.

Jarra To killed the previous overseer of the Axis. Eventually, a Time Lord came to investigate, but they killed them. By the time the Fifth Doctor and his companions landed there, they described the corpse as "rank" with oozing flesh and insect larvae. (Audio: The Axis of Insanity)

After leaving Nyssa, Tegan, and Marc behind, the Fifth Doctor had several adventures on his own. Eventually, he encountered his Eleventh self, and he decided to return to his companions because he didn't want to be like him - companionless and disparaged in 1892. (Audio: Thin Time)

One time, a man called Gaylord Lefevre played a game of cards against the Toymaker. He cheated and used a needle to mark cards, but the Toymaker was aware of this and altered his cards to be a hand full of jokers when Gaylord wasn't looking. The Toymaker claimed he wasn't cheating but instead following a new rule that Gaylord had introduced - that cheating was acceptable. (Comic: The Greatest Gamble)

Maria Mazzini once commented on how powerful the Fifth Doctor's thighs were - after slapping them. (Audio: Serpent in the Silver Mask)

One time, the Fourth Doctor decided to take Sarah Jane to Geshtinanna. The journey in the TARDIS took nine weeks, during which both became bored and tired. While traveling in the time vortex, the clocks in the TARDIS all stopped, and the Doctor then detected the remains of another TARDIS in the vortex, trapped their because the pilot had made the mistake of locking their course. They were worried that they too had fallen to the same fate and were unable to change course, but when the day of materialization finally came, they successfully materialized. The Doctor realized that the TARDIS had stopped all the clocks out of respect for her fallen fellow TARDIS. Even after nine weeks of travel, they materialized nowhere close to Geshtinanna. (Short story: Eternity)

The Seventh Doctor has shifted his genetic makeup enough to disguise himself before and mimic someone else. He admitted that he learned this trick from the Master, who frequently used regeneration as a disguise. (Novel: Original Sin)
